No David is a very simple picture book that shows a little boy misbehaving. his mother is constantly telling him "NO", in almost every sentence in the book is singulary, telling him to stop his bad bahavior. in the end, little David begins to think that all the "no's" hes been hearing reflects what his mommy might think of him. The pictures in this book are excellent. Grade for K-1. This shows students they will always not get what they want. ( )

This was a book that the author had written when he was a boy. His mother thought he would like to see his work. At the time he only knew the words no and David, so the whole book is those two words. David did draw pictures when he was younger and was always getting in trouble. He was on the counters in the kitchen, drawing on the walls, coloring the couch, making messes everywhere. He ran down the street one time with no clothes. David chews his food with his mouth open and gets in trouble, but through all the times David is told no his mother still loves him and tells him that at the end of the story. Lots of lessons can be learned from this book. ( )

Genre-realistic fiction
A good example of realistic fiction because it could of happened, children not listening to their parents, but most likely did not.
Character- (foil character) (David's mom) A good example of a foil character becuase she helps shape the story. She comes in and out of the story line but the story does not follow her.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0590930028, Hardcover)

Parents will be quick to jump to the conclusion that there can be nothing appealing in a tale of an ugly kid who breaks things. And certainly--from that adult perspective--there's something off-putting about the illustrations of David, with his potato head, feral eyes, and a maniacal grin that exposes ferociously pointed teeth. But 3- and 4-year-olds see things differently, and will find his relentless badness both funny and liberating. "No, David," wails the off-stage mother, as David reaches for the cookie jar. "No! No! No!" as he makes a swamp out of the bathroom. "Come back here, David!" as he runs naked down the street. Each vivid double-page illustration is devoted to a different youthful indiscretion and a different vain parental plea. Readers will be amused to know that the protagonist's name is no accident: award-winning writer-illustrator David Shannon wrote the book after discovering a similar effort that he had made, again with himself at the center of each drawing, at the age of 5. (Ages 3 to 6) --Richard Farr
